FYI its great you are passionate about something, but this Congress has passed a historically low number of bills due to its ideological dysfunction, while having a historically high backlog of bills.
Everything in committee gets erased in 30 days, and will need to be reintroduced which requires your representative to: still be in the next session and still care about it instead of something relevant at that point in time.
Your bill is dead in the water.
- tyre 6y agoYes. And note that this was introduced by Kamala Harris who was voting and releasing bills based on setting herself up for a presidential run. This specific bill — which she knew would never even reach the floor of the Senate — was to counter her conservatism on drugs and incarceration as CA Attorney General. She had one of — if not the — most "progressive" voting records in the Senate, but that's not to say she'll push these policies as VP or that they reflect what a Democratic majority would vote on (let alone pass.)
